Both the Ranker community and Rolling Stone placed “Imagine” second, and third, respectively. In the U.S., John Lennon’s song “Imagine” was published in October 1971, and in the UK in October 1975. He is most notable for being the only artist in his career to have his most popular solo song break sales records. One of the most popular songs of the twentieth century is also one of the most well-known musical compositions of all time. Other singers, including Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, and Lady Gaga, have all covered the song throughout the years. Since 2005, New Year’s Eve celebrations have always included the dropping of the New Year’s Eve Time Square Ball. The song was included on the Recording Industry Association of America’s list of the top 365 songs of the 20th century. Prior to his murder, he said that Yoko Ono provided a lot of the music and lyrics to the record. In 2017, she finally received recognition for her authorship of the book.
